Adam is originally from Scottsdale, Arizona, where he attended St. Theresa Catholic grade school and then Brophy College Preparatory, a Jesuit high school where he caught the ‘theology bug’. He graduated from Saint Louis University, a Jesuit university, in 2012 with a BA in Theological Studies and a certificate in the Christian Intellectual Tradition, while studying alongside Jesuit & Dominican scholastics. He then taught high school theology through the Alum Service Corps in St. Louis, MO for a year before teaching high school religion in Indianapolis. After marrying his wife, Caroline, he moved to Cincinnati in the summer of 2014 and began to work in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati as a Coordinator of Religious Education & Youth Minister for Holy Trinity & St. Mary Queen of Heaven parishes in Adams County. He is now serving as the Pastoral Associate for Faith Formation at Assumption and is excited to meet everyone and journey with them through their faith. In addition to working at Assumption, Adam is also pursuing graduate studies in Theology with a concentration in Ethics, Spirituality, and Professional Practice from Xavier University in the Institute for Spirituality and Social Justice. He hopes to complete his coursework and defend his thesis by Spring 2017. In his spare time, Adam loves cooking and is always looking for new recipes to try!
